Full Description
In his report on the Rom kiln site, Basil Brown states: 'Near Site No. 5, in its immediate vicinity are quantities of bricks and tiles and black earth which appear to be remains of brick kilns which were probably worked two or more centuries ago. In places the Roman layer has not been destroyed and this extends beneath' (S1).
'Old brick kilns on Swan field, which overlie Roman deposits' (S2). 'Overlying the Rom site in places are remains of old brickworks with pits for brickearth - apparently functioned a century and a half ago' (S2). When first discovered Kiln 5 was thought to be Rom brick clamps.
